Don't get to serious about membership. Trump just wants you to pay the membership fee.

Literally how Mar-a-Lago works. He wants people to pay him to make a rich boys' club for heads of state because all the other ones aren't money to him based. They're just about how much money does the country have, like the G8.

I think it’s that AND I suspect they allow corporations to join and that will legitimize corporations being as powerful as countries which allows dark enlightenment folks to have their corpo nation states

The economy funds all of us, disproportionately, but even on the elite end you have Taylor Swift, Bill Gates, and George Soros who are not Nazis or Pedophiles.

Twitter exclusively funds nazis and pedophiles.

Twitter exclusively

The employees are all certified Nazis & pedophiles: has anyone told the FBI?

Any sign X has started turning a profit? Twitter was sold while operating with losses. It's lost significant advertising revenue since then.

Anyhow, everything in the economy is interconnected. Circulating money inevitably flows through every earner's pockets. With enough degrees of separation, every spender pays for Nazis & pedophiles. The degrees are few for US taxpayers: Musk's companies have a few government contracts. I guess you could burn it. 🔥

All I know is: when a Python compliments your joke, you may have just peaked. Whoever wrote that needs to print it, frame it, and perhaps have it signed.

Sorry to be that guy, but John has gone down the "you can't tell jokes anymore because woke" path and is also transphobic.

That's rich coming from John Cleese, he was on the side of fucking over the peaceful state of international relatioships when it came to brexit, supporting the pricks that he's now criticizing.

He should just fuck off to the cayman islands and shut up. He cashed in all his Monty Python/Fawlty Towers goodwill when he became Basil

There's a big difference between supporting fascists and dictators, and supporting the UK shooting it's own dick off.

But yeah, people shouldn't support either.

well, supporting one leads to strengthening the other. a fuckload of brexit propaganda money came from russia, which should make it suspect.

You're allowed to enjoy something for what it is while recognizing it's problematic.

Or follow gay humour where you find a bunch of fag jokes but you're laughing at the bumbling fool/homophobic person.

He spent most of his adult life dodging taxes -- no surprise that he would be pro-brexit.

We can't unite against a greater evil because we look to the right and they're always right of us.

We look to the right and see the pro-trans crowd as well but making them our enemy while the people further right of them ruin the world won't work out for either of us.

That's what people are talking about by the above. If you were better informed you would have already known that.

Like cool, we disagree with him but we can disagree with him on those things not on war crimes. If supporting him would stop the war crimes then we could support him until the war crimes stopped though that isn't relevant in this scenario.

Yeah, the left doesn’t have gender differences (outside of biology) so people feeling like they’re a different gender means there’s too much societal power in the label. Take any person say they are xx or xy and then switch it. They’re still the same person.

However that wasn’t the point, it was about how not being left enough stops us from uniting against the people right of all of us.

That's not a common opinion among the left. Being pro human rights is definitely not a right leaning view. Sounds like trying to throw trans people under the bus and get buddy buddy with centrists, which is also not a left view.

What do you mean by look to the right then? The left does see the right as bad because of what they do and support. Standing with people on the right, Republicans and conservative Democrats is what keeps dragging us further right. It seems like it's always the victims responsibility to be the better person and not the aggressors to be better.

You're not even talking to the right person, now I know you're too easily confused.

Anyway that's funny but we don't actually differ in opinion in any way that matters politically. Look, being a good person is always going to mean accepting people who aren't as good as you.

It sucks, and you can still prefer people who are kinder and more well informed, but life isn't about only tolerating people with perfect opinions. And I say this as someone who excommunicated a best friend of twenty years for falling for 4chan propaganda. It's all about figuring out who can be reached and who is too far gone.

I do see I replied to you as you were the OP based on the comment. My bad. I'll tolerate others in work and public but I'm not going to go to the movies or keep my mouth shut on their wrongs. Hell my ex's parents voted for trump all 3 times and we have still helped each other out, we have a kid together so I still see them sometimes. I still have to go against them when they tried to indoctrinate her with shame filled Catholicism. I don't call them good people as they would judge queer people. If they ran for office I would rally against them.

Hell I did say, finally, when mtg came out against trump for the Epstein stuff but I wouldn't have anything to do with her since she still is a toxic bigiot.

I'm not trying to shut you up. I just think people are messy, and unless we think they're so ideologically locked-in that there's no point, let's at least smile at people when they have a good point, even if their overall situation isn't looking good. I've been pretty disappointed with John Cleese's politics, but he's not wrong in this moment and I'd like to think he's not totally cut off from feedback that isn't biased in the opposite direction. If you'll pardon the multiple negative.

I would love if being nice to them would make them see reason, hell that one guy gets kkk members to renounce their ways is a gift. I don't trust or give people the time of day when they spout conservative beliefs as they will use that to make their hateful views seem normal. I do wish more leftist politicians would run as people think we need to court the centrists but where a leftist run they do well without trying to coddle conservatives.

My head is in the same place with regard to leftism. I really wish more people had the smarts and resilience to talk down conservatives who are still reachable by sane discourses. It's hypocritical of me though, given how many people I see as essentially in a death cult. At this point the best I can do most days is be real, keep a playful tone, and stop talking when I don't have anything constructive to say.
